Unlike other rail services in Britain the line is run on a concession
service, rather than under a complex franchise structure. This means
TfL taking some of the financial risk of running the line, giving them
an incentive to make sure it works well.


Unless so failing that they fall into cap-and-collar, why is this any
different to a classic franchise?


Cap and collar is not total. There is still gain and pain.
